, a shrub endemic to Hong Kong and Guangdong, south China, growing on low-altitude hillsides, under the forest. The species is controversial in classification. Herein, we report the complete chloroplast genome sequence assembled from Illumina pair-end sequencing data, with aims to resolve its relationship with the related species. The complete chloroplast genome was 155,983 bp in length, includes two inverted repeat regions (IRs) of 26,716 bp each, which were separated by a large single copy region (LSC) 86,101 bp and a small single copy region (SSC) 16,450 bp. The chloroplast genome contained 129 genes, including 82 protein-coding genes, 2 pseudogenes, 37 tRNA genes and 8 rRNA genes. The overall GC content in the chloroplast genome of was 37.0%. Phylogenetic analysis showed that is closed to .

Background: Populus tomentosa, known as Chinese white poplar, is indigenous and distributed across large areas of China, where it plays multiple important roles in forestry, agriculture, conservation, and urban horticulture. However, limited accessibility to the mitochondrial (mt) genome of P. tomentosa impedes phylogenetic and population genetic analyses and restricts functional gene research in Salicaceae family.

Background: The St-genome-sharing taxa are highly complex group of the species with the St nuclear genome and monophyletic origin in maternal lineages within the Triticeae, which contains more than half of polyploid species that distributed in a wide range of ecological habitats. While high level of genetic heterogeneity in plastome DNA due to a reticulate evolutionary event has been considered to link with the richness of the St-genome-sharing taxa, the relationship between the dynamics of diversification and molecular evolution is lack of understanding.
Results: Here, integrating 106 previously and 12 newly sequenced plastomes representing almost all previously recognized genomic types and genus of the Triticeae, this study applies phylogenetic reconstruction methods in combination with lineage diversification analyses, estimate of sequence evolution, and gene expression to investigate the dynamics of diversification in the tribe.

Background: Zanthoxylum L., an important genus in the Rutaceae family, has great edible and medical values. However, the high degree of morphological similarity among species and the lack of sufficient chloroplast (cp) genomic resources have greatly impeded germplasm identification and phylogenetic analyses of
Methods: Here we assembled cp genomes of five widespread species (, , , and ) in China as a case study, comparative analysis of these assembled cp genomes.
